During my recent visit to Guatemala, we went on a few field trips. I know you're probably wondering hat does this have to do with Provenfit anyway?

Well, it has everything to do with it. First, we visited a dye-sublimation company, and got to see the process from the very beginning to the end; from pattern making all the way to the finished product. It is crazy to see how many people and steps are needed to make activewear! There's no shortcut for quality here!!

A few days later, we visited the largest fabric manufacturing company in Central America!

To say that was an amazing experience would be an understatement. They have over 50 years of experience in textile manufacturing and work with over 2k brands, including name brands such as Nike, Under Armor, Lululemon, Adidas, etc. Their $13M facilities covers an extense area for developing, manufacturing and testing performance, athleisure and everyday knits.

We are always looking for ways to improve Provenfit and its products to bring you the best tools so you can be the best version of yourself! Stay tuned because soon we will have more updates on this developing story!

The "all-you-can-eat" holiday is around the corner and we're getting ready! Although many people get excited about twenty course meals and stretchy pants, we believe in having a healthy and delicious Thanksgiving without going crazy!

We love this recipe by NomNom Paleo and want to share it with y'all! After all, the year isn't over and we keep putting in the work. Give it a try and let us know how you do! Be smart. Eat well.

We have been there, too. Caught in the bottom of the snatch and failing to get up or breezing through a clean and unable to get it overhead. Sound familiar? Check out this great post by #BarbellShrugged. This might shed some light and get you to that next PR!

We have so much to tell you about PROVENFIT and our plans. Stay tuned and check this blog for info and dates on competitions, sales, new product launches, etc. Hang tight and make sure you sign up for our newsletter!
